Looking for a sweet evening with your kids?

How about a night dancing in the stars with “Cinderella Story: Starstruck”?

I received a copy of the video for the purpose of this review.
The opinions are mine. It is my Universe, after all.

We all know the story of Cinderella, but in this version, `Ella is replaced by Finley (played by Bailee Madison) a farm-smart gal who dreams of barnstorming Hollywood with her talent. Her insta-fame obsessed step-siblings Saffron and Kale (played by Lillian Doucet-Roche and Richard Harmon) and has-been stepmother Valerian(April Telek) do everything they can to squash Finley’s dreams.

Hollywood Dreams

In the magic that is a fairy tale, Hollywood comes to Finley when a film crew chooses her sleepy town for production. And they even are offering up a role to a local lady across from the leading man. And who is the Prince of this ball, mhmm, I mean film? Finley’s heartthrob, Jackson Stone (Michael Evans Behling).

Finley and Saffron audition for this dream role but in a disastrous scene involving a pig and a lot of mud, she turns back into a pumpkin. In a Shakespearean twist, however, she lands a role as “Huck”, a male actor, while falling in love with Jackson as herself. This cute twist on Twelfth Night was especially appreciated by me.

A Cinderella Story: Starstruck is a very family-friendly play on the classic tale. The leads are likable and the Hollywood twist with the Tiktok flare has a fun modern element that kids are likely to love. Pop the corn and pull out the pillows for a night with the stars.

This is the sixth installment in the A Cinderella Story movie series. Other titles include A Cinderella Story (Hilary Duff), Another Cinderella Story (Selena Gomez), A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song (Lucy Hale) A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits (Sofia Carson), and A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (Laura Marano).
